Ultrafiltrates from 10 patients in chronic maintenance hemodialysis (7 males and 3 females) were obtained simultaneously using three different membranes: cuprophan, polyacrilonitrile and polysulfone. Middle molecules (MM) chromatographic profiles and total MM amount were determined by gel chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. The convective transport of MM was similar and not membrane related. Hemofiltration, a predominantly convective solute transfer procedure using high flux membranes such as polyacrilonitrile and polysulfone, in which large amounts of fluids have to be ultrafiltered, is an effective form of MM removal.

Abstract Due to the advancements in computing services such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, high-performance computing systems are needed. Consequently, the increase in electron chip density results in high heat fluxes and required sufficient thermal management to maintain the servers. In recent times, the liquid cooling techniques become prominent over air cooling as it has significant advantages. Spray cooling is one such efficient cooling process which can be implemented in electronics cooling. To enhance the knowledge of the process, detailed studies of fundamental mechanisms involved in spray cooling such as single droplet and multiple droplet interactions are required. The present work focuses on the study of a train of droplets impinging over a heated surface using FC-72 liquid. The surface temperature is chosen as a parameter, and the Dynamic Leidenfrost point (DLP) for the present impact conditions is identified. Spread hydrodynamics and heat transfer characteristics of these consecutively impinging droplets till the Leidenfrost temperature, are studied and compared.

Abstract Nanosheet Field Effect Transistor (NSFET) is a viable contender for future scaling in sub-7-nm technology. This paper provides insights into the variations of DC FOMs for different geometrical configurations of the NSFET. In this script, DC performance of 3D GAA NSFET is analyzed by varying the width, thickness of the device. Moreover, the gate length is scaled from 20 nm to 5 nm to check for the device suitability in logic applications. The thickness and width of each nanosheet are varied in the range of 5 to 9 nm, and 10 to 50 nm respectively to analyse the performance dependency on the geometry of the device. The impact of geometry of NSFET on various DC performance metrics like transfer characteristics, sub-threshold swing (SS), on current (ION), off current (IOFF), switching ratio (ION/IOFF), threshold voltage (Vth) and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) are studied. On top of that, the device’s electrical characteristics are analyzed for a wide range of temperatures from -43oC to 127oC to identify the temperature compensation point and is observed at VGS = 0.55 V and ID = 3.86 × 10−6 A. Furthermore, the important process parameter, work function variations on transfer characteristics of the device is analyzed. Moreover, the analyses tell that, for sub -7 nm, the NSFET is a potential device for high performance and good logic applications.

   Low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) have been studied because of their high performance in Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays (AMLCD's) and Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode (AMOLED) applications. The purpose of this work is to simulate the impact of varying the electrical and physical parameters (the interface states, active layer's thickness and BBT model) in the transfer characteristics of poly-Si TFT to extract the electrical parameters like the threshold voltage, the mobility and to evaluate the device performance. The device was simulated using ATLAS software from Silvaco, the results show that the electrical and physical parameters of poly-Si TFT affect significantly its transfer characteristics, choosing suitable parameters improve high-performance transistor. Such results make the designed structure a promising element for large-scale electronics applications.

A double focusing magnetic spectrometer has been constructed for use with a field emission electron gun scanning microscope in order to study the electron energy loss mechanism in thin specimens. It is of the uniform field sector type with curved pole pieces. The shape of the pole pieces is determined by requiring that all particles be focused to a point at the image slit (point 1). The resultant shape gives perfect focusing in the median plane (Fig. 1) and first order focusing in the vertical plane (Fig. 2).

One of the most important requirements for a high-performance EM, especially an analytical EM using a fine beam probe, is to prevent specimen contamination by providing a clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen. However, in almost all commercial EMs, the pressure in the vicinity of the specimen under observation is usually more than ten times higher than the pressure measured at the punping line. The EM column inevitably requires the use of greased Viton O-rings for fine movement, and specimens and films need to be exchanged frequently and several attachments may also be exchanged. For these reasons, a high speed pumping system, as well as a clean vacuum system, is now required. A newly developed electron microscope, the JEM-100CX features clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen, realized by the use of a CASCADE type diffusion pump system which has been essentially improved over its predeces- sorD employed on the JEM-100C.
